Thanks Pburgh, your sweet!
Todays the last day of the Ficcare spring sale, so I had to buy another one! I love these clips. I'm going to start saving my money now for their Fall sale.

It's been 4 weeks since I started using Monistat. I measured today, and I got the usual half an inch growth for this month. I decided to stop using it, it didn't help my growth and it was making my hair limp and greasy.
I'm really unhappy with my ends. I'm going to have DH trim them for me. It will be my first trim in 8 months. I've decided too, to trim on a regular basis from now on. I want to keep a nice blunt hemline.
I've got 2 new flexi's coming in the mail and my Ficcare will be here Monday, can't wait!!!

Awww im really sorry the monistat didnt work. It was worth a shot tho and its still good you got your half inch of growth. Its great you are going for trims too to keep it looking nice. I do the same thing just dont get too much taken off. Def take pics of the flexis and Ficcare too :) I should be posting points of me in a headband and some small braids soon too :)

Thanks Pburgh for your support! I look forward to seeing your pictures.
I'm going to see if DH will trim my ends tonight. There in good condition with no splits. It's just that my ends are scraggly looking and need cleaning up.

Paper - I think it is so wise to have your ends trimmed just a bit. I have been really good with getting my trimmed every 8 weeks and it makes such a big difference. I am also lucky that I found a hairdresser who will just skim trim the ends and not go hair cutting happy.

I agree that the Monistat should be discontinued. Four weeks is a long enough try. As for the trim, make sure that Dh is confident AND competent. As someone who trims my wife's hair, it is SO easy to make a mistake, not like the horrors we've all seen, but a significant one, nonetheless. Start in the middle and take your time! Good luck. Since your hair is very straight, 8 months is a good interval for evening the ends. Blessings, Bob

The trim went good! My hair feels and looks soooo much better! I'll get a new length shot up soon.
DH did good. He can't go wrong really, because I have a hair cutting tool. It locks your hair in place, and you just cut off whats underneath. It even has a level to keep it straight.

I got my hair cutting tool from www.CreaClip.com I've been using the small one for my bangs, this is the first time I've used the bigger one for my length. DH cut off 1-2". My ends were thin and longer then my sides. He didn't even cut any off the sides.
Here is a length shot after trim.....
And, here's is a picture of one of my new flexi's....

1-2 inches? Gasp! Hair in the flexis looks amazing, though.
Who has more fun than people?

Pburgh, Thanks for all the nice comments!
Kramer, I'm glad you like my flexi picture!
I know I hated to lose that much length. But it was just thin ends. It looks alot better now. From now on, I'm going to have regular small trims, so I don't have to have a big trim in the end.
